With AMD zen4 announcing its core information and scheduled to be released in the autumn, Intel will certainly not sit and watch amd "copy" the 12th generation core by virtue of its late development advantage. According to the latest news, the Zen 4 Raptor 7000 desktop processor (Raphael) is planned to be released in August, followed by the Intel 13th generation core Raptor lake, which is expected to be launched in October**
Access:
Intel's first product is the core i5/i7/i9 K series, which matches the z790 motherboard. Other SKUs, including the cheaper h770/b760 chipset motherboard, will wait until the first half of next year.
Unlike zen4, which only supports ddr5, the 13th generation core will still support DDR4 memory.
In fact, Intel has previously disclosed the main specifications of Raptor lake, including the continuation of Intel 7 (10nm) process, the maximum 24 core 32 thread design, the lga1700 interface , the support of dual channel ddr5-5600 memory, 20 PCIe 5.0 channels, and the flagship model maintaining 125w thermal design power consumption.
Intel pointed out that the 13th generation core will still bring double-digit performance improvement.
